Hi Linus,

Here is the list of features which have are being actively
pushed, not NAK'ed, and are not in 2.5.45. There are 13 of them, as
appropriate for Halloween.

Most were submitted repeatedly *well* before the freeze. It'd
be nice for you to give feedback, and decide which ones (if any) are
still up for review.

Rusty.
